Took me the better part of the entire weekend, but I managed to flush and replace the coolant in the DeLorean. The process was messy and nerve-wracking. While I was working on it, I installed DMC Northwest's excellent cooling system air bleeder kit that was a real benefit when it came time to burp the system of the excess air.
There was a small amount of rusty sediment in the reservoir bottle, so I removed it and flushed it off the car. The real problem was flushing the system with water as it ended up all over my garage floor. I couldn't let the antifreeze into the storm drains, so I had to clean it up and bottle it.
What's next? Fan relays, new belts, otterstat testing and those engine mounts...Hurts my head thinking about that.
